Timeout in HTTP_Proxy.py throws an exception instead of correctly sending the client an error

When processing the socket errors in the HTTP proxy, when capturing the socket.error it attempts to index into the object, and if that fails (as it should always do for most error objects if my understanding is correct) then it will attempt to send the error object itself into self.send_error, however this method is expecting a single line string (i.e. "Not Found", "Bad Request", or "Internal Server Error") rather than an error object, so it attempts to use a string method (s.replace) which causes another error.

In this specific example it is also attempting to send a 404 response for a socket timeout, where potentially it should be sending a 504 Gateway Timeout (I'm not familiar with the code, but as this module is called HTTP_Proxy.py I'm assuming this error occurs when the upstream connection fails so this feels more accurate)
